Summary

A liberating exploration of the queer divine in deities and figures of myth and legend that opens pathways for LGBTQIA+ people to revere the divinity within and create an affirming spiritual practice.

A spiritual practice can be an intensely affirming thing, but for many LGBTQIA+ individuals, it is instead an alienating one. Queer Devotion seeks to open pathways for LBGTQIA+ people to connect with the divine by revering and celebrating the queer divinity in ourselves. By exploring the Queer Divine in existing gods, goddesses, and goddexes of mythology—Inanna, Hermes, Loki, Osiris, and more—we’ll resurrect the queer divine within ourselves through explorations and queered retellings of their stories. But we can also queer the idea of divinity itself, illuminating queer threads in Arthurian legend, European folklore, Victorian monsters, and witchcraft.

Lastly, to build a queer devotional practice, Burgess offers exercises, reflection prompts, and ritual suggestions for you to build your own, personal practice of liberated, self-defined, and self-directed queer devotion.
